January 27th, 2022
We would like to remind our families of the changes to the school day schedule on January 28th, 29th, and February 1st, in the modified semester calendar.
Why will students not attend school on these two days?
In keeping with our commitment to support the health and safety of staff and students, and to comply with public health guidance regarding cohorts, we will shift to a remote learning model for these two instructional support days. The remote model for these instructional support days ensures that all four classes can be covered in the three days.
| SEMESTER 1 | Fri, Jan 28 | Mon, Jan 31 | Tues, Feb 1 |
| Morning block | C | A | A |
| Afternoon block | D | B | B |
Students will work asynchronously or synchronously from home, depending on their needs. Teachers will be available to the students in the course blocks on the schedule. No new work or new assessments will be assigned as this is a chance to catch up and ensure understanding of the course material to date.
What will students be doing from home?
The answer will vary depending on how the student is progressing to date, and what work they have not completed, but could include:
- A virtual help session with their teacher to ask questions
- Completing missed school work and submitting it
- Reading course materials they may have missed
- Getting virtual help from a support staff member (Special Education, Student Success, Child and Youth Worker, Social Worker, Guidance Counselor) without losing class time
- Conferencing with their subject teacher virtually to discuss their progress
- Completing an extension on a project or task
- Developing questions they have for their teacher on the work to date
Students in Our ACE Classrooms will continue to attend in-person on January 28th, January 29th, and February 1st and follow their regular schedule.
Wednesday, February 2, 2022 will be a PD for all students. Please look for further posts regarding Semester 2 which begins on Thursday, February 3, 2022.
